The Jeseníky Mountains and their foothills are a mountain paradise with many historic treasures and technical monuments. In every season you can choose a trail which will suit both your physical condition and your interests. The tourism area of the Jeseníky is formed by the Hrubý Jeseník mountains and their foothills, the Rychlebské mountains, Králický Sněžník and the Nízký (Lower) Jeseník mountains, so one can enjoy travelling from peak to peak, enjoying splendid views and trails through picturesque valleys. Winter sports complexes offer enthusiasts a wide spectrum of possibilities, as many as in summer, and all offer a number of additional entertainment activities. In the Jeseníky you will find hundreds of well-marked trails, for hiking and for cycling. You can go to Rejvíz to the largest peat bog in Moravia, to Praděd for the highest mountain in Moravia, to the nature preserve Šerák – Keprník, the oldest in Moravia, or to the nature reserve Velká kotlina (The Great Basin), which is considered the country’s best, all in the Jeseníky. And those who like sight-seeing will discover a number of historical monuments, whether they be the local castles, chateaux, museums or the interiors of wooden churches. You can see the greatest wonders of the Czech Republic, the Dlouhá Strána electric plant, and a handmade paper factory. But that is not all – you can to to Šumperk and go on a fairy-tale tour from the 13th to the 21st centuries, and we have not yet mentioned the relaxation possibilities of the Jeseníky spas, the witch-hunting trials in Velké Losiny, the festivals, nor the number of events on offer, including tasting the famous Hanušovice beer.
